A big thank you from Speaker Matthew Larkum to all SFB members, associates and guests who shared progress on work and collaborations, and brainstormed at the SFB's annual retreat in Berlin. Thanks too, to Livia de Hoz (PI A09) and Deetje Iggena (Postdoc B05) for discussing their projects with the public during "Soapbox Science" at Berlin Science Week, and to Petra Ritter for her continual outreach efforts on behalf of the Berlin neuroscience community. This month, take advantage of the chance to meet the speaker at the next SFB1315 talk with David Dupret (University of Oxford). Also in December, the SFB women's networking retreat in Rheinsberg features a power-packed programme planned by associate PIs and juniors with talks by Petra Ritter and members of the Charitè Research Grants Office.

The year is not over, but on behalf of Speaker Matthew Larkum, Deputy Speaker Richard Kempter and the SFB's Steering Committee, we would like to wish you all a peaceful holiday season, health and happiness - as well as success - in all of your endeavors in 2025!

GEM 2025 - Generative Episodic Memory

June 2 - 4, 2025 | Ruhr University Bochum | Universitätsstraße 150, 44801 Bochum
https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.14.041047
Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on the storage model, according to which experiential content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed in the act of remembering. [...] Read more here >>
